For instance, the bottom navigation on the iPad will display more functions than on the phone. On the iPhone, those additional functions are located within “More.” The remainder of this User Guide shows images from an iPhone, so please note that your navigation may differ slightly from what is shown in this guide if you’re using a tablet.
